Three objectives were set. These were; to establish the effect of religious practice on marital satisfaction among married Christians, to explore the effect of religious beliefs on marital satisfaction among married Christians, and to ascertain the effect of belonging to faith community on marital satisfaction among married Christians in CITAM Woodley. Descriptive research and design was employed in this study. The study was guided by the ecological systems theory as postulated by Urie Bronfenbrenner (1979) and a conceptual framework was provided. The target population included all the 520 married Christians at CITAM Woodley. The sample was 104 (52 men and 52 women). Simple random sampling was used to select the sample. It was established that religious practice affected marital satisfaction. Religious beliefs did not affect marital satisfaction. Belonging to Community Faith groups affected marital satisfaction. The recommendations were that Community Faith groups especially those addressing marital issues be encouraged across other Christian communities because they had positive effects on marital satisfaction. Churches should encourage teams and team work in the various ministries in order to ensure that the married Christians get adequate time for resting and for service in activities. Churches should plan for times for service and for breaks. Further research was suggested on circumstances under which religious beliefs affect marital satisfaction and on the effect of the length of practicing religious practices on marital satisfaction.enEffects of Religiosity on Marital SatisfactionSatisfaction among married ChristiansThesis
